Your support makes all the difference.The luxury goods brand Burberry has revealed a storming 22 per cent rise in third-quarter sales, despite the economic storm clouds.
Its update is a further sign that the luxury goods market shows little sign of falling out of favour among the world's wealthy. Burberry's revenues hit £574m for the three months to the end of December – ahead of analysts' forecasts of £569m.
The 156-year-old purveyor of trench coats, leather goods and fashion has been boosted by the continuing rise of the TLC – "travelling luxury
consumer"– who roams the world boosting sales at stores from Las Vegas to Paris.
Burberry will open its largest store yet in London ahead of the Olympicsthis year.
